Compared with Zhang Shuangyang, Zhang Xiaotian and Du Lili are much luckier.

When the black storm swept in, Zhang Xiaotian and Du Lili were sitting in a clay kiln to enjoy the coolness. This is their secret, every day as soon as they work, the two of them first struggled to catch up with the progress for a while, and after leaving the other testers far behind, Zhang Xiaotian would find a shelter or shade from the wind and the sun, and pull Du Lili to communicate. Zhang Xiaotian and Du Lili were not partners originally, but that time Luo Zhengxiong listened to Wan Yue's suggestion and re-combined the instrument hand and the ruler hand, so Zhang Xiaotian played a little conspiracy and asked Du Lili over.

Zhang Xiaotian likes this willful and beautiful female soldier a little.

This liking seems to have started from the first meeting, and now it is not only unstoppable, but also getting stronger and stronger. The scene of Du Lili standing in the garden and looking at the flowers on the day she first arrived at the regiment headquarters is still frozen in his mind like a painting, and he jumped out coldly to stimulate him, making him have infinite reverie about this female soldier with a strange personality. Sometimes Zhang Xiaotian would excuse the fact that the instrument was not leveled, or the ruler was shaking, and the number read was inaccurate, so that Du Lili would hold the ruler and stand in his sight for a while. Du Lili, who didn't know it, thought that she really didn't hold the ruler well, so she seriously readjusted the angle between the ruler and the body and stood in a line. How did she know that Zhang Xiaotian was smiling secretly, his camera was not aimed at the ruler at all, but completely fell on Du Lili, the crosshairs suddenly moved on her face, and suddenly came to her again, in short, at the end of the day, he would see enough of Du Lili. This is not fun, these days he has come up with a strange trick to communicate with Du Lili.

In order to form a tacit understanding between the instrument hand and the ruler hand as soon as possible, and to catch up with the accuracy and progress at the same time, the group encourages everyone to be idle and not to talk nonsense, try to squat together to talk about the work, and exchange measurement experience. This idea was given to Luo Zhengxiong by Zhang Xiaotian. Liu Wei is a rough temper, worried that this will make something happen to the male and female soldiers. Luo Zhengxiong said with a smile: "It's good to make trouble, the marriage problem is now a big problem in the Corps, and the headquarters is trying to recruit female soldiers, just to solve this big problem for the comrades. ”

Liu Wei swallowed the words into his stomach and didn't dare to say it. What he is afraid of is this Du Lili. I'm afraid Luo Zhengxiong doesn't know how Du Lili got to the Special Second Regiment. But he knew that Tong Tieshan, the political commissar of this matter, had mentioned it to him, and Tong Tieshan said angrily at that time: "This yellow-haired girl, she really doesn't know the height of the sky, let her go to the special second regiment, and she will know who she is after beating in the desert for half a year." ”

After a month, Du Lili was not afraid of the desert at all, not only was she not afraid, but she also liked the surveying profession more and more, which made Liu Wei feel very uncomfortable. In fact, he was bent on "scareping" Du Lili back, which was also what Tong Political Commissar meant. "It's best to scare her back, if you can't scare her back, you have to take care of her for me, if you get along with a gay man, I'll ask you!"

Just in case, Liu Wei transferred Du Lili to Zhang Xiaotian, Zhang Xiaotian is the second battalion commander, and he also knows the ins and outs of the matter, and only by handing Du Lili over to him can people rest assured.

Behold......

The wind is warm, the sun is bright, and the desert before the storm always presents a mild picture that often makes people indulge in illusions. Zhang Xiaotian didn't seem to care about what the desert was pretending to be, he was anxious to ask Du Lili, how did she think about it?

Two days ago, Zhang Xiaotian suddenly asked Du Lili, if one day he went to a place and became a petty official or something, would Du Lili be willing to follow?

This is not a casual question, Zhang Xiaotian is indeed using his brain somewhere, not only him, but there are many people in the corps who use this kind of brain. Zhang Xiaotian had already received the notice, it was a small county called Hongliang, not far from Wangshui, where Luo Zhengxiong was going, and it was a special area. In the battle of Hongliang Liberation, Zhang Xiaotian was under Luo Zhengxiong and served as the commander of the Sharp Knife Battalion. The pseudo county magistrate of that county was caught by him, and he was hiding in his little wife's maiden house at the time. Zhang Xiaotian had a good impression of that place, and felt that it was a place where people could live, and his superiors probably took this into account and decided to let him go to Hongliang to be the deputy county magistrate. If it weren't for the urgent establishment of the Special Second Regiment, maybe he would have let go of his arms in Hongliang by now. At present, the whole country is liberated, and there are fewer and fewer battles to be fought, and staying in the army is a bit boring, so it is better to return to the localities as soon as possible. Zhang Xiaotian is still young, only twenty-eight years old, it is the golden years, if he lets go of his arms and works for three or five years, he doesn't believe that he can surpass Luo Zhengxiong. Of course, it is too much to be over-exceeded, but this is secondary, the important thing is that he wants to do something. The special second regiment was established temporarily, and as soon as the task is completed, this team will be disbanded, and Zhang Xiaotian's future is still in that small county called Hongliang, so he has also achieved his dream in Hongliang. But the problem is that now he has Du Lili in his heart, if she doesn't go, Zhang Xiaotian will be difficult to do, he doesn't want to delay his work because he wants a woman, so he wants to probe Du Lili's tone.

Zhang Xiaotian asked a thief, he didn't say that he liked Du Lili, he never told her, and he didn't give her a look. Although she is thought of everywhere, it is work, and it is the care of gay men for lesbians, and it has nothing to do with feelings. Moreover, Du Lili is arrogant, her heart still doesn't know which fairy palace in the sky, if she recklessly says, she can't tell how people stink you. So he thought of such a way, using this to set Du Lili, who knew that Du Lili was more thief than him, after listening to his question, he didn't answer at the time, but smiled very reservedly, that smile was really good-looking, like seeing a "Tianshan snow" in the desert, Zhang Xiaotian's heart immediately rippled. Then, Du Lili winked mischievously: "This question is too far away, let me think about it." ”

In the past two days, Du Lili's expression, demeanor, and naughty energy have always been swaying in front of Zhang Xiaotian's eyes, so that he doesn't know what to do in a day. When he couldn't sleep at night, he wondered, how would Du Lili answer him? Will you say no, or will you give him some hope? And can Du Lili hear the meaning of his words?

With intuition, Zhang Xiaotian felt that Du Lili should be able to, Du Lili was no better than the fat girl Zhang Shuangyang, she was a person who had this experience once, and she should be able to hear some flavor from the words of the gay man. But it's hard to say about this, the more people like her, the higher their morale will be, and if they can't get it, they will make fun of you.

Zhang Xiaotian was most afraid that Du Lili would make fun of him. Although this thing is reluctant, but having a good impression is having a good feeling, and if you don't have it, if you don't have it, for example, she should refuse the chief, and don't tie people with a string. But he was afraid of being rebuffed, if that was the case, what should he do?

Zhang Xiaotian, who has always been wise and brave, suddenly had no idea, his heart hung on Du Lili, and he couldn't set all day.

What about Du Lili? She thought Zhang Xiaotian was funny and a little interesting, she really didn't expect to meet such an interesting man in the special second group. She decided to tease him. But it was just limited to teasing him, other Du Lili didn't think about it, she really didn't think about it.

Du Lili is by no means a woman who gives herself to anyone easily, saying that she has a high heart may be a little excessive, but saying that she has no heart and is not objective. She is a woman with a goal, and this goal seems to be born with it. Du Lili's father is a soldier, who once worked under Mr. Peng, and sadly, in a battle to exterminate bandits, her father was seriously injured and fell into the hands of bandits. Later, although he was rescued by many parties, he failed to succeed in the rescue and was tortured to death by the bandit leader. This incident had a great impact on Du Lili, and the biggest thing was that she had built an idol in her heart, her ambition was not only to become a soldier, but also to marry a soldier as great as her father.

This ambition was firmly opposed by his mother. As a middle school teacher, her mother has been full of hatred for the profession of a soldier since she was widowed, and when she heard that her daughter had illusions about soldiers, she became angry for no reason and said: "If you don't mention those two words to me, I will send you to be a maid in this life, and I don't want to step into that door." Later, I found out that my daughter was also thinking about the marriage of men and women, and she was even more annoyed, "Are you bent on angry with me, a widow in the family is not enough, and you also want to come to join in the fun?!" ”

In the face of such a mother, Du Lili really had no choice, not at all, she secretly reported several times, and once she saw that she was going to wear the military uniform she had dreamed of for many years, but she was taken off by her mother who rushed to it. In order to prevent her from becoming a soldier, her mother really used enough means, she cried, she made trouble, she threatened with death, this is not counted, in order to tie her heart, her mother used her relationship as early as three years ago, and now forced her to go on a blind date, Ming'er forced her to be a son-in-law, in short, she did not agree to give up this dream, and her mother did not let her be at peace for a day. There was no way, Du Lili had no choice but to agree, saying that she never wanted to be a soldier again, even if she was asked to be an officer, she would not go. "Really?" Mother asked. "Really." Du Lili said. "Okay, Ming'er will go on a blind date with me." In the mother's thinking, only by letting a man really tie up her daughter can her heart be steady. In order to make her mother completely relax her vigilance, Du Lili really followed her on a blind date. The other party is a Chinese teacher in a state-run middle school, and he looks a little decayed, but he is very real, one is one, two is two, saying that he once had a wife, but it was arranged, and within a few days of the same room, he escaped from his hometown, and now it has been five years, I don't know what the situation is over there.

"Do you want to make a second room?" Du Lili screamed.

"What is called a second room, the marriage is arranged, he doesn't agree." Mother interjected.

"But he has the same room, maybe his son has run away." Du Lili was about to leave, and the teacher said regretfully: "I went to my hometown a few days ago, but my son didn't, he was a daughter, four and a half years old. ”

"You-" Du Lili was shocked, she couldn't believe that there was such a man in the world.

Mother didn't care at all: "Mr. Su is good-looking, and he has a belly of ink, but he is a respected gentleman at school." It doesn't matter if you get married in the future, and you don't go back to his hometown, you don't recognize her in your heart. ”

"If you don't admit it, you don't exist?" Du Lili was surprised by her mother's generosity, and even more pity her mother's attitude towards men, in her mother's eyes, as long as there is a man guarding her, this life is happiness, no matter whether the man is behind a woman or a group of women.

Naturally, the relatives did not get along, and the mother was very sad for a while, and then the mother's second bombardment came. This time he was a bank clerk, oily and powdery, and he looked white, but he was too white, especially when he opened his mouth to speak, he couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman. The mother seemed more satisfied than the instructor last time, and was eager to push her into the arms of the white man at once. Du Lili thought to herself, anyway, she was lying to make her mother happy, so she might as well follow her mother, lest she force herself one after another. In this way, she endured a huge nausea and agreed to associate with the bank clerk, but whether she could wear the ring he gave her in the end depended on his performance. This made the mother excited, and immediately forced the little clerk to buy a ring. The little clerk agreed sweetly on his lips, but he was not sweet at all in his actions, maybe he was really short of money, anyway, until Du Lili escaped from the county town and took a special car to recruit female soldiers in the mainland, he didn't see the little clerk send the ring.

Sitting in the car, Du Lili was full of longing, her dream for many years finally came true, and she finally became a female soldier. And I heard from the conscription, this special recruitment of female soldiers is to train the first generation of female tractor drivers in New China, and when it comes to the vast territory, there are tractors everywhere, and you can drive any one you want. Du Lili was not very interested in being a tractor driver, but when she saw other female soldiers dancing and singing, as if her hands had touched the tractor, she also thought excitedly that if she could really be a tractor driver, it would be good, at least she could drive the tractor with a sudden call when she went home, and Meimei went around the county for a while.

They were loaded in the iron carriage, and they walked away in a drowsy state for an unknown number of days, and when they vomited the food in their stomachs several times, and they could no longer vomit anything, Xinjiang arrived. As soon as she got off the train, her eyes were full of yellowness, and Du Lili exclaimed: "Where is this, it's the wrong place, isn't Xinjiang full of melons and fruits, and the grapes are fragrant?" The soldier smiled and said that this is not Xinjiang, this is the wilderness.

"Where is the field, I'm going to Xinjiang." Not only Du Lili, but almost all the female soldiers in the same carriage shouted like this.

The soldier led an even more treacherous smile, pointed to several large military trucks, and said, "Get in the car, that car is going to take you to Xinjiang." They didn't see the tractors in the wilderness, but saw the donkey carts driven by Uyghurs wearing flower hats, the grapes that dotted the sky like stars, and the long yellow sand that could not be seen at a sight. What's even more frustrating is that as soon as they get out of the car, they are surrounded by a large number of eyes, some young, some old, some trembling, and some naked. At first, the group of female soldiers did not understand why so many eyes were staring at them like monkeys, and when they did, a cry broke out in the barracks.

They rested for half a month in the place called Cotton Pond, saying that they were resting, but there were other famous halls inside, and that famous hall was really unspeakable, and it was even more unpleasant than the blind date in their hometown. But those leaders don't care if you are happy or not, they still come every day, and when they come, they cultivate a relationship with them, and say that this is a task assigned by the organization, so that they can take root in the frontier. Du Lili finally understood that she tried her best to escape from the catastrophic blind date in her hometown, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, and thought that she would be able to become a free bird from now on, flying in the blue sky of the vast territory, but as soon as she got out of the car, she was put in a cage. And this cage will cage the female soldiers for the rest of their lives, so that they will never be able to get out of Xinjiang again.

Standing outside the cage were the battle-hardened chiefs who could intimidate them at the slightest hint of their names. Du Lili felt that she had fallen for it. If you don't marry a young teacher or staff, you have to go over the mountains and mountains to this deserted place to marry a "father".

On the day she was taken by the head of the military region, she did not choose to flee, nor did she choose to make trouble, but calmly stared at the chief who seemed to be far from being her father and said: "I promise you, but you have to promise me one condition first." ”

"What conditions, you say, as long as I am my wife, I will promise you any conditions."

"Send me to the grassroots first, let me live the addiction of being a soldier."

"This ......" the head of the military district hesitated.

"If you don't agree, you can pick someone else, anyway, there are more female soldiers here who are better than me."

The chief looked at her, and then looked at her, and felt that she was still good, so he said, "Then I will send you to the reconnaissance company, where to experience the experience?" ”

"Okay." Du Lili responded without thinking about it.

The reconnaissance company is a special contingent, and its main task during the war is to spy on the enemy's situation and grasp first-hand military intelligence; after the liberation of Xinjiang, the focus of the reconnaissance company has shifted to monitoring independent forces and rebels. The head of the military region sent Du Lili to the reconnaissance company to experience, because he was originally a scout, and the reconnaissance company was his old base, so he was relieved to be sent there. Who knew that as soon as Du Lili entered the reconnaissance company, she shouted that she wanted to go to Kucha, which was a very dangerous place, how dare the company commander send her, and after several instructions, she was sent to Kuitun, which was relatively safe. In the middle of this, I heard that Du Lili was already engaged, and her fiancé was a middle school teacher and used to be an underground traffic officer of our party, and the two had already established a revolutionary relationship. The news reached the ears of the head of the military region, and the chief was so shocked that he immediately called to question, Du Lili said politely: "I'm sorry, old chief, I am really engaged, I joined the army this time, my fiancé is very supportive, we want to become a revolutionary partner, and we must ask you to witness the marriage when the time comes." The chief was so angry that he threw away the phone immediately, and the next day an order came down, asking Du Lili to leave the reconnaissance company immediately and transfer to Tong Tieshan!

The old chief gave Tong Tieshan a death order: "I just fell in love with her, I will hand over this yellow-haired girl to you, you give me good discipline and discipline, one day she figured it out, you send it to me!" ”

Can you figure it out? Du Lili smiled, this smile was a little secretive, and it also brought a little bit of her daughter's cleverness. I won't marry you, Du Lili smiled again, thinking that the old chief was very funny, like an old naughty boy, with a big temper, and his heart and eyes were quite good, but it was a pity that he was not the man he wanted to marry. So what kind of man do you want to marry? Du Lili can't tell, she really can't tell, but she seems to have a faint goal in her heart.
